I made this
Simple Whole Roasted Chicken recipe. Made a double batch of the rub (with half the salt)....and threw it in the oven for 2 hours at 375. It turned out delicious. Different in that it has cinnamon and nutmeg and a few other spices in it....I guess it's in the same vein as Chinese Five Spice. You don't find that ready-made at HEB! (Although, I must admit to thinking 2 hours of cooking time might not be worth it...and a $5.99 lemon-pepper one might be good enough for me.)
Served it up with
Arugula Salad with Citrus Vinagrette (replaced the pear with an apple that I had on hand) and some sauteed yellow squash. The vinagrette seemed really light....but then I went back and looked at the amount of oil in it, and it's not very "light" at all!
I try to keep in mind some of the simple rules of the
Paleo Diet ('cause I go to this
Crossfit gym that encourages it)...and this was *not* a paleo dressing.
Oh well, you do what you can. :)
I saw the picture of the chicken and had to make sure I was reading the right blog. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYep been eating the birds since early this year. Made my first turkey for Thanksgiving. Came out great, the recipe I found for it, involved a whole bottle of champagne!
